THE CORRELATION OF SERUM BICARBONATE AND METABOLIC ACIDOSIS TO ALBUMIN IN HEMODIALYSIS PATIENTS
(University of Kansas, 2012-12-31)Metabolic acidosis, indicated by low serum bicarbonate levels (CO2), is common in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD). The specific aim of this project is to statistically correlate laboratory and descriptive human ... -
OVERWEIGHT AND OBESITY AT 5 YEARS OF AGE IN RELATION TO FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE OVER TIME
(University of Kansas, 2012-12-31)Background: Childhood overweight and obesity has increased as American diets have evolved to include fewer fruits and vegetables. It is important to evaluate the effect of dietary components on childhood overweight and ... -
INFLUENCE OF FADS1 AND FADS2 GENOTYPES ON MATERNAL DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID AND INFANT DEVELOPMENTAL STATUS
(University of Kansas, 2012-12-31)FADS1 and FADS2 encode the rate-limiting enzymes responsible for arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) synthesis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FADS1 and FADS2 influence the proportion of blood ... -
Patterns, correlates, and reduction of homework copying
(The American Physical Society, 2010-03)Submissions to an online homework tutor were analyzed to determine whether they were copied. The fraction of copied submissions increased rapidly over the semester, as each weekly deadline approached and for problems later ... -
Mathematical learning models that depend on prior knowledge and instructional strategies
(The American Physical Society, 2008-05)We present mathematical learning models—predictions of student’s knowledge vs amount of instruction—that are based on assumptions motivated by various theories of learning: tabula rasa, constructivist, and tutoring. These ... -
Book Review: Whose America? Culture Wars in the Public Schools by Jonathan Zimmerman
(2004-02)Reviewed work(s): Whose America? Culture Wars in the Public Schools by Jonathan Zimmerman. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 2002. 307 pp -
Endocrine responses to overreaching before and after 1 year of weightlifting

Social Capital and Secondary Schooling: Interurban Differences in American Teenage Enrollment Rates in 1950
(The University of Chicago, 2004-08)This article considers the influence of social capital on secondary enrollments in American cities in 1950. Data from the U.S. census are utilized to analyze enrollment rates across metropolitan areas with populations ... -
From Kitchen to Classroom: Reflections of a Language Broker
(National Council of Teachers of English, 1998-09) -
Measuring student learning with item response theory
(The American Physical Society, 2008-01)We investigate short-term learning from hints and feedback in a Web-based physics tutoring system. Both the skill of students and the difficulty and discrimination of items were determined by applying item response theory ... -
The system for observing fitness instruction time (SOFIT) as a measure of energy expenditure during classroom based physical activity
(Human Kinetics, 2008)The aim of this investigation was to develop an equation to estimate physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) during a 10-min physically active academic lesson using The System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time ... -
The perceived motivational climate in sport questionnaire: Construct and predictive validity
(Human Kinetics, 1993)The purpose of this study was to further examine the construct and predictive validity of the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire or PMCSQ. Young athletes (N = 169, M age = 14.2 plus minus 1.94 years) on ... -
Myosin heavy chain expression in peripheral muscles of Prairie Voles Microtus ochrogaster is not sexually dimorphic
(Acta Zoologica Sinica, 2008)Previous research has reported skeletal muscle protein expression characteristics for laboratory strains of various rodents, such as rats and mice. However, we do not know the muscle protein expression or sexual dimorphism ... -
An analysis of Sports Illustrated feature articles, 1954-1987
(Human Kinetics, 1991)All Sports Illustrated feature articles between 1954-1987 were examined with reference to sport, gender, race, role of the person featured, length of article, author, number of pictures, individuals pictured, and descriptive ... -
Myosin heavy chain isoform expression: Influence on isointertial and isometric performance
(Taylor & Francis, 2005)Thirty-six healthy men with varying degrees of physical training background performed maximal-effort isometric and isoinertial knee extensor actions, with relative loads equal to 40% and 70% of one-repetition maximum. ... -
Muscle fiber and performance adaptations to resistance exercise with MyoVive, colostrum or casein and whey supplementationa
(Taylor & Francis, 2003)To determine the effects of 12 weeks of resistance exercise with MyoVive and/or colostrum supplementation, 19 male and female recreationally weighttrained subjects (X ± SE; age = 28.3 ± 6.9 yrs; hgt = 68.2 ± 3.8 cm) ... -
Effect of a liquid multi-vitamin-mineral supplement on anaerobic exercise performance
(Taylor & Francis, 2006)The purpose of this study was to determine if supplementation with a liquid multi-vitamin/mineral would improve anaerobic exercise performance. Fourteen resistance-trained men performed a 30-second cycle sprint and one ... -
Scholarship Reconsidered: Considerations for a More Inclusive Scholarship in the Academy
(Taylor & Francis, 1996)The current scholarship model in higher education has been conceived, produced, and reproduced in the image of the dominant culture. The values, behaviors, and expectations for the academy have been forged by a ... -
Isokinetic Peak Torque in Young Wrestlers
(Human Kinetics, 1996)The purpose of the present study was to examine age-related changes in isokinetic leg flexion and extension peak torque (PT), PT/body weight (PT/ BW), and F*T/fat-free weight (PT/FFW) in young wrestlers. Male wrestlers ... -
